Trauma Support Community Check-In for June 2024 - LGBTQ+ Pride Month

audienta June 8th

Hello everyone,

welcome to this month's check-in! This month is the LGBTQ+ Pride Month!

In June 1969, following a police raid of the Stonewall Inn (a gay bar on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village), a group of LGBTQ+ people rioted in New York. This event was very significant to the modern gay rights movement and because of that, yearly organised demonstrations followed it. These demonstrations spread to additional cities in North America and Europe and turned into what we today know as the pride parades. That's also why the LGBTQ+ pride month happens every year in June. (Source)

Being an LGBTQ+ member can be very traumatic due to the unacceptance of some people so let's especially think about all the people who had or have to walk a difficult path due to their identity. If you're one of them, know that you're not alone in this. We support you. So no matter if you're part of the LGBTQ+ community yourself or an ally, let's celebrate this month together!


Trauma Support Community Check-In for June 2024

1) The LGBTQ+ pride flag is a rainbow. What's your favourite colour or colour combination?

2) Have you ever experienced trauma due to your LGBTQ+ identity or do you know someone who has? Do you want to tell us about it?

3) How are you going to celebrate this year's pride month?


If you have a question you'd like me to ask at the next check-in, please let me know!

Take care,

audienta

My birthday falls on the day gay marriage was legalized here in the US so it's always an event!

Happy Pride to you and the Trauma Support family!

Trigger warning: loss, guilt

@audienta I've started to spiral into deep depression, but it's not gonna win, not this time. It's my sons birthday at the end of next month, I guess it triggers lots of things😥 he'll be 13 this year, he's a angel now in heaven. Because I couldn't protect him from the bad people. That's the day I went numb, I didn't make a sound no matter what they did to me. Shame, pain, guilt.😞

Hey there,

I'm sorry to hear that you feel depressed and numb as well as guilt and shame. If you want to talk about it, there are many listeners who'd be happy to listen to you. I hope you feel better soon.

Take care,

audienta
